LEXI gives partners a common building infrastructure for connecting devices, integrating existing systems and delivering intelligent-building applications—without requiring them to build the underlying connectivity and managed-edge platform themselves.
Whether you sell solutions, integrate building systems or bring complementary technology to market, LEXI provides the physical-building layer you can build around.
Partners engage with LEXI in different ways. Some lead with the customer relationship. Some design and deploy the building architecture. Others bring devices, software or technology that become more valuable when connected to the physical building.
Sell and package complete building solutions.
Combine LEXI with your customer relationships, vertical expertise and services to create repeatable solutions for energy, operations, occupancy, environmental monitoring, risk and other building needs.
Extend the integration boundary.
Use LEXI to connect wireless and previously isolated building systems into existing BAS, BMS and enterprise architectures—without replacing the supervisory systems already in place.
Connect your technology to more of the building.
Integrate devices, equipment, analytics, software and AI with LEXI's building infrastructure to create solutions that can be deployed across diverse existing properties.
LEXI provides the common infrastructure partners need to connect fragmented building environments and deliver applications across them.
— Connect wireless and wired building technologies through a multi-protocol edge platform.
— Provisioning, device management, diagnostics, software lifecycle management and local execution.
— Normalize physical infrastructure into a common hierarchy of sites, buildings, floors, rooms, zones and equipment.
— Support energy, equipment, occupancy, indoor environment, water-risk, distributed-site and AI-enabled use cases from a common infrastructure.
— Exchange information with BAS/BMS platforms, enterprise systems, partner applications and cloud services through standard interfaces.
— Reuse proven architectures across additional buildings, customers and portfolios without rebuilding the solution for every site.
LEXI enables resellers and solution providers to deliver connected-building capabilities without having to develop their own gateway, protocol, edge-management and building-integration stack.
You bring the customer, market expertise and services. LEXI provides the infrastructure underneath the solution.
Partners can lead prospecting, solution development, deployment coordination and ongoing account management while using LEXI as the underlying technology platform.
Create revenue beyond the initial deployment through:
A deployment does not need to start as a whole-building transformation.
Start with a clear operational or financial problem, establish the infrastructure and add applications as the customer identifies additional needs.
Combine LEXI hardware, applications and integrations with your own services, technologies and vertical expertise.
Solutions can be structured around individual needs such as energy, equipment monitoring, occupancy or water-risk—or delivered as a broader smart-building offering.
Depending on the relationship, LEXI solutions can be delivered under the LEXI brand, co-branded with the partner or provided through approved white-label configurations.
Traditional building architectures often leave equipment disconnected because extending wired controls is disruptive or uneconomic.
LEXI gives systems integrators another way to reach those assets.
LEXI is designed to work beneath and alongside supervisory building platforms rather than replace them.
Integrators can use LEXI to extend connectivity into areas conventional BAS architectures cannot economically reach and expose that infrastructure upward to the systems already managing the building.
LEXI's Wired-to-Wireless Converter can connect equipment using interfaces such as Modbus and other wired protocols into the wireless building architecture.
This allows integrators to reach legacy and isolated equipment without running new control wiring throughout the property.
LEXI can operate beneath BAS/BMS platforms, Niagara environments and other supervisory systems while providing normalized devices, data and approved control pathways.
Integrators remain central to system architecture, commissioning and operational responsibility.
LEXI provides the connectivity and managed edge required to execute approved building workflows locally and reliably.
LEXI helps technology companies move beyond isolated products or cloud-only applications by providing a common way to connect with the devices, systems and operating context inside existing buildings.
Two broad technology-partner models can use the same infrastructure.
Connect physical products to a broader building ecosystem.
Potential partners include manufacturers of:
LEXI can provide the connectivity, normalization, device management and integration required to make those products part of a larger building solution.
Bring analytics and applications closer to physical building operations.
Potential integrations include:
Partners can exchange data and events through APIs, MQTT and other integration mechanisms while maintaining clear boundaries between each system’s responsibilities.
Technology partners can also use LEXI's managed edge to support workloads that benefit from local processing, lower latency or continued operation when cloud connectivity is impaired.
LEXI does not need to own every application.
The objective is to make complementary technologies easier to deploy across heterogeneous building environments.
LEXI partnerships work best when responsibilities are explicit.
The exact operating model depends on the partner, the customer and the solution being delivered.
LEXI supports several ways to bring solutions to customers.
The partner leads the customer relationship and incorporates LEXI into its broader solution or service offering.
LEXI and the partner are both visible within the customer proposition.
Approved LEXI capabilities can be incorporated into eligible partner-branded offerings.
LEXI operates as the physical-building and managed-edge layer beneath another platform, application or managed service.
Partnership models can evolve as deployments expand and responsibilities become more defined.
Identify the customer problem, integration gap, technology requirement or market opportunity.
Establish devices, connectivity, applications, integration points, control boundaries and responsibilities.
Prove connectivity, workflows, integrations and the required customer outcome.
Define deployment, support, data, commercial and account-management responsibilities.
Extend the validated model across additional applications, buildings, customers and portfolios.
Whether you want to package LEXI into your own solution, extend an existing building architecture or connect your technology to more of the physical building, we can define the model around the opportunity.
